You Can't Hug a Collie on the Phone

For those who don't know me, you need to understand one important thing. Kinda like the way Dickens notes in his Christmas tale - if you don't grasp this one fact, much of the entries in this category won't seem significant.

I live in Duluth, Minnesota. I am studying for my doctorate in Madison, Wisconsin. Between the two points lie some 330 miles. I am not in a distance education program but a traditional, residence required one. I am also a project assistant doing research in Madison. How does one pull this rabbit out of the hat??
